Brothel owner: Lamar Odom wanted confidentiality policy

The owner of the Love Ranch brothel where Lamar Odom was found unconscious a week ago says the former NBA star had asked all the workers to sign confidentiality agreements during his visit.

Dennis Hof said Odom arrived to the Crystal, Nevada brothel on Oct. 10. He paid two women to accompany him in a VIP suite.

The next day, he asked about a dozen women working there to sign confidentiality agreements barring them from speaking about him.

Hof said no one has ever asked for such an agreement and that no confidentiality policy exists for the customers. However, the women who work there do sign an agreement prohibiting them from speaking out about clients.

Hof battled with Odom's ex, Khloe Kardashian, last week after she asked him not to talk to the press.

Odom was found in critical condition on Oct. 13. He remains hospitalized in Las Vegas.

Earlier on Monday, Odom's aunt JaNean Mercer said in a statement that the former NBA star's condition is improving.

"Each day Lamar is getting stronger and reaching significant milestones in his recovery," the statement said.
